Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC70

Connectivity
Software (6.5)
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC70 comes with the ArcSoft software for Macintosh and Windows platforms for editing images. This software allows for editing of images, rearrangement, and printing options to both Macintosh and PC users.

Jacks, ports, plugs (6.5)
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC70 is equipped on the left side with a Digital / A/V out port and a DC in port for auxiliary power. Located beneath these two ports is the SD/MMC memory card slot. The Digital / A/V out allows the user to connect either to a video port on their computer if possible, or to attach to a TV monitor for video playback. The SD/MMC memory card slot retains the memory cards for the camera, recording both still images and short movie clips.

Direct Print Options (6.0)
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC70 offers standard direct print (DPOF) options. This option is available in the Menu within Playback mode.

Memory (5.5)
Memory for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC70 is a SD/MMC card, and has variable still sizes and movie lengths based upon the size of card chosen by the user. The card slot is built into the camera body on the left side, underneath a port cover. Just to warn to you: the SD card is very tiny, so don't take your eyes off of it; it may tend to disappear more quickly than other formats. A 16MB memory card comes with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC70 upon purchase, hardly enough to last you until you get home. The standard procedure, for insufficient bundles of this nature, is to buy a bigger card along with your digital camera purchase.

Other Features (5.0)
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC70, like the DMC-LC50 is a stripped down basic hybrid camera, with the major features being the ability to capture video and audio onto the SD/MMC memory card. Otherwise, this camera is not overwhelmed with extra features to confuse the user.
